1882 Brown Back National Bank Notes
The 1882 Brown Back gets its name from the distinctive brown-colored printing on the reverse side. These Second Charter notes are among the most popular with collectors due to their beautiful designs, which vary by denomination. The $5 "circus poster" design is especially sought after. Brown Backs were issued from 1882 to 1908, and notes from small towns or Western states can be worth thousands of dollars.
